On Saturday, October 4th, 2025, Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, during an emotional and solemn ceremony at the General Directorate of the Haitian National Police (DGPNH), paid a vibrant tribute to the police officers killed in the line of duty and reaffirmed the Government's unwavering commitment to supporting their families.

Surrounded by his Chief of Staff, Axène Joseph, and Vladimir Paraison, Acting Director General of the Haitian National Police (PNH), along with all members of the High Command of the police institution, as well as the families of serving police officers, the Head of Government symbolically presented school kits to the children of the deceased police officers, on the occasion of the 2025-2026 academic year.

This gesture, he emphasized, "reflects the State's moral and republican duty to the families of those who gave their lives defending the Nation."

140 families of police officers who died in the line of duty each received a school kit along with a financial aid package. A total of 220 school kits were distributed during this ceremony, marking a concrete gesture of social support for these grieving families.

This initiative is part of a policy of social support for the loved ones of officers killed in action, while officially launching a series of measures designed to strengthen this support.

"The Government will never forget the sacrifice of these brave police officers. The State cannot ask its sons to protect the country and turn its back on their families when they fall. I am personally committed to this," declared Fils-Aimé, his voice filled with emotion.

"These police officers made an inestimable sacrifice to defend the Republic. They paid with their lives for the safety of the population. We have an obligation to pay tribute to them and stand by their families." A father himself, the Prime Minister reiterated that education remains the noblest way to honor the memory of those who sacrificed themselves for peace. "The children of our heroes must be able to dream, learn, and grow up with dignity. Their future is a promise that the Republic must keep."

Director Paraison offered a powerful and dignified tribute to the memory of these valiant police officers who gave their lives to defend public peace, calling the government's initiative a first concrete step toward a sustainable policy of support for the families of police victims. "This gesture marks the beginning of a sustained commitment by the State to the children and parents of our fallen heroes. They will never be forgotten."
